UK PSTN Shutdown

Steve Timmiss • Jan 19, 2023

Prepare now to change your phone line so you dont lose your numbers or service.

When is the PSTN switch off happening? In 2025, the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) is being switched off by BT Openreach. This means everyone across the UK, including businesses, currently using PSTN-based services will need to upgrade to a new service ahead of this point.


This means that ALL PHONE LINES with phone numbers and telephones attached directly  to the sockets will stop working.They will all need to be converted to an internet based phone line and telephone if you want them to continue and you want to keep the number associated with them.

Any remaining ISDN business services will also need to be turned off at the same time.

If you are in any doubt whatsoever as to what type of connection you are using please get in touch with us on 0345 1411400 and ask for Kaizen. Telecom. Alternatively email using the contact page in the website or use help@kaizentelecom.co.uk
